The Account Transfer interface displays the status and progress of your account restoration, and any warnings.

Account transfers appear on the left side of the interface, while site restorations appear on the right side of the interface.

Note:

If you accidentally close this interface in WHM, navigate to the Review Transfers and Restores interface (WHM >> Home >> Transfers >> Review Transfers and Restores) and click the appropriate View link.

You may close this window and view the transfer on the command line: /usr/local/cpanel/bin/view_transfer DHGfWHNIu8STwNfZ3ywIOLLSGiCQtS

Completed

After the transfer and restoration process is complete, the top of the interface displays a Completed message.

The links below the Transfer and Restore sections allow you to review the account's transfer and restoration logs, which can help you identify and resolve any warnings or skipped items. The total number of warnings and skipped items appears below each account's link.
